Default goodbye ESC

Have just seen my car drive off with a new owner. Decided that fuel and insurance costs had got too much, and i was racking up a debt equal to that of a small African nation. I have had a good time this summer, and really enjoyed the car. Just like to say thanks to all the people that helped me, and to those who organise the meets/days out, they were all top class.
Cheers, Alex.

ps, this is what I have bought, no scooby, but fun and cheap!

It's a shame to hear you sold the scoob mate, it was fun changing the springs on it

Hope you enjoy the Pug, Looks OK (not as good as the scoob), know what you mean about fuel and insurance even at my age.
Was nice to meet you but I'm sure you will still be about, once a scooby owner always a scooby owner, you just try not to turn your head when you hear one go past, and go "I used to have one of those".

See you soon

Ouch, just rebuilt 2 of these in the last week, heads tend to go badly when the cam wheels break. get them checked it may just save you £800.

Though once checked should prove to be reliable
